A New Home for Humanity (Sci-Fi RP)

@Zhaeth @urukhai @caliban22

Sorry about not getting back to you guys sooner. I checked this before leaving for the holiday and didn't see any replies. Looking at the timestamp, I must have just missed your reply. If you guys are still interested, I'd love to run this RP.

would you have all characters start out as leaders of their own kind of tribe?

@Zhaeth

Yes. This can take any form you wish. Your character can be a corporation's CEO, a representative, a Royal Governor, or even just a charismatic citizen who's decided to stake their own claim. In this RP, it's assumed that your character, for whatever reason, has been granted almost complete control over your colony. The only entity above your characters, for game play purposes, is the Human Republic and it's constitution.

A New Home for Humanity (Sci-Fi RP)

The year is 2129.

The Human Republic has offered up a planet, Calypso Major or 8323 Pegasi IV (as it's officially known) for colonization. Nations, corporations, and individuals are free to attempt to establish their own settlements/homesteads on the planet, as long as they agree to fall under the Human Republic laws and taxes.

Ok, so if you couldn't guess from the very short intro and the tags, this is something of a mixed RP, with aspects of both nation and normal RP. The RP would mostly take place from an individual viewpoint, though decisions there will effect your nation as a whole. You create a single character, the leader of your faction on the planet, and you play as them throughout the game. During gameplay, you will engage in normal RP behavior (fighting enemies, talking with NPCs, etc) and guiding your nation/corporation as the local authority.

Challenges would include things such as establishing trade with neighboring settlements, dealing with natives, establishing a sustainable colony, and various other issues.

This is just me putting feelers out to see what kind of interest there is.

Apotheosis

Strenk the Goblin

Name:
Strenk

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
You're a green-skinned, four foot tall, ugly piece of work. Other then that, his only real distinguishing feature are his eyes. Rather than the normal goblin color, his iris’ are a bright, blood-like red.

Personality:
The best way to describe Strenk is sociable. Admittedly he may come off as awkward or odd, but it’s the effort that really counts, right? He just wants to meet and interact with as many people as possible and make his voice heard. Additionally, Strenk isn’t big on arguments turning physical. If he can, he’d much rather talk things out and make friends. Of course while he realizes that he can't talk his way out of everything and will stand his ground if necessary, he won't be happy about it.

Past Life History:
Pre-death, Steven Ikerson, was a audio engineer for a fairly large film production company. He did just about everything audio related, from recording to editing, though his real specialty was Foley work. He had an entire studio built just for sound effect creation, and with it could create just about any sound imaginable. While it didn’t lead to him building a fortune, he loved what he did and that was enough for him. By the time of his death, his name was in the credits of a vast number of films, shows, and various other types of media.

Gift:
Mimicry
The ability to hear and then mimic sounds that are heard, be it spoken word, animal sounds, or just the sound of rocks banging together. Being that it’s so weak at this time, this ability is limited to the small range that a newborn goblin has and is far from precise.

Other:
Strenk really enjoys sweet things, such as candies. Not just eating them, but savoring them.

Hurica, the Land of the Undesirables

@Cultural Titan

For the start, I was picturing Xander as being able to do up to probably mid-level to mayber upper-level alchemy under optimal conditions, so moderately strong poisons and potions. Obviously, being unceremoniously arrested and shipped to Hurica didn't allow him to pack anything and is far from optimal, so he'll have to start over, gathering ingredients and finding/creating the proper tools. I'd limit him to the basics, like small healing potions, maybe some simple cures to diseases, things like that. As the RP goes on, I was hoping to find/create better and better alchemy equipment to create more advanced potions.

I'll check out Pathfinder's alchemist and maybe take some ideas from that.

Hurica, the Land of the Undesirables

No problems with the character at first glance, but I should ask in advance how you intend alchemy to work?

@Cultural Titan

That is an excellent question. Being that this is a fantasy genre, I had assumed magic would be incorporated and guessed that you had some system in mind. If you'd prefer it, I can change Xander into more of a hunter/naturalist character or something similar. Otherwise, I'm open to whatever you might have in mind regarding magic and alchemy.

Hurica, the Land of the Undesirables

Well, the bio got a bit longer then I meant for it to, but here's my character finally!

Xander Lespel

Name:
Xander Lespel

Age:
40

Race:
Half-elf

Biography:
Xander lived a mostly unremarkable life growing up, living with his elven mother and human father deep in a cottage in the woods. His father taught him to hunt and trap and his mother taught him the ways of alchemy. Unfortunately though, all good things must come to an end. His mother came down with an unknown illness that quickly sapped her of her life force, and his father, while out trying to find herbs for healing, was grievously injured by a wild animal, dying in Xander’s arms the next day. His mother shortly followed.

After burying his parents, Xander gathered his belongings and traveled to the nearest city. Starting first as an assistant to an alchemist, Xander eventually was able to save enough coin and learn enough alchemy to open his own small shop. After several years of running his shop, Xander was eventually approached by a small group of mysterious individuals. They offered him a huge amount of coin to mix a obscenely deadly poison. Though he had his misgivings, Xander agreed as he needed the coin. The next day, city guards stormed in, accused Xander of conspiracy to assassinate the King, and locked him up. It wasn’t long before he was forced on a boat headed to Hurica.

Finally got my character finished. Tried to keep it short and sweet, so hopefully everything looks good.
